What is it, Octane?

RE: What is it, Octane?
The first thing I would do would be to pull the motherboard, pour a little bit of isopropyl alcohol into the DIMM slots and brush side to side with a toothbrush. The sockets can get quite dirty and that can cause a lot of what you're facing.

The power supplies are not known for failing gradually and instead fail quite catastrophically

Technical problems should be sent my way.
